About Yamu
The Space
Yamu is an event venue set within Le Méridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort, a beachfront property situated along the unspoiled shores of Mai Khao — Phuket's longest and most pristine stretch of coastline in the island's northernmost district. The name Yamu carries a sense of place deeply rooted in the local landscape, and the venue reflects that sensibility: a setting that balances contemporary resort design with the natural textures and light of coastal Phuket. Whether the occasion calls for an intimate gathering or a structured event, Yamu offers a distinct atmosphere that sets it apart from conventional hotel function rooms.
The space is designed to suit a range of occasions, from corporate meetings and private celebrations to milestone social events. Its position within one of Phuket's most exclusive beach resort addresses means that natural light, open air, and the surrounding tropical environment all play a role in shaping the guest experience. The resort's location in Mai Khao — away from the busier tourist corridors of Patong and Kata — lends events here a sense of seclusion and prestige that is difficult to replicate closer to the island's centre.
Events & Occasions
Yamu is well suited to both corporate and social programming. The resort setting makes it a compelling choice for incentive travel groups, executive retreats, product launches, and team-building events that benefit from a resort backdrop rather than a city conference centre. On the social side, the venue appeals to couples planning destination weddings and families organising milestone celebrations, where the combination of beachside scenery and professional resort hospitality adds meaningful value to the occasion.
Le Méridien's global events infrastructure supports Yamu with the logistical backbone that planners expect from an internationally managed property — coordinated catering, dedicated event staff, and the ability to draw on the resort's full range of food and beverage offerings. Groups can engage the resort's event planning team to tailor the space's configuration, lighting, and décor to suit the specific tone and scale of their event.
Location & Accessibility
Mai Khao sits at the northern tip of Phuket, approximately 30 kilometres from Phuket International Airport — making the resort one of the closest major beach properties to the airport on the island. This proximity is a practical advantage for international delegates and guests arriving from overseas, reducing transfer times considerably compared with resorts further south. The beach at Mai Khao is protected as a national marine park zone, which contributes to the area's quieter, more exclusive character.
Guests travelling from Phuket Town or central resort areas such as Patong will find Mai Khao accessible by private transfer or taxi, though the journey distance means the resort functions best as a self-contained destination — which, for multi-day events or residential conferences, is precisely its strength. The resort's beachfront position means that Yamu's events unfold against one of the most naturally dramatic backdrops Phuket has to offer.
